<p>I was wondering any of you have opinions on which school has a better poli sci program or does it not matter?</p>
<p>I don't think it matters... Both schools are very highly ranked at the graduate level (UCSD at 7th and UCLA at 10th), but I don't know enough about the UCLA/UCSD undergraduate programs to really distinguish them. Maybe kfc4u has a better perspective and can properly answer your question. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>as far as I know, ucla enters you as pre political science and after two years, they require you to petition to actually get into the major. Isn't that just a pain? :P I got into ucla and now I'm wondering if I should go there to do poli sci compared to UCSD if I get in...</p>
